Rivierenwijk, Utrecht
NeighbourhoodThis 1934 terraced house on Rijnlaan has a warm, lived-in feel from the moment you step inside. With 103 m² of floor space and a 105 m² plot, it offers more room than many homes in the area. The asking price of €675,000 is 43% above the neighbourhood average of €470,630, which puts it on the high side, but the extra space and central location explain why. For context, terraced houses in Utrecht vary widely in price and size.
Rivierenwijk is a dense, urban neighbourhood with a strong city feel, the address density is 4,764 per km², so you're never far from the buzz. Based on three reviews, opinions are split.

A third review is less positive, mentioning safety concerns and litter. The area has a mix of families and singles, with many homes built before 1945.

Such a beautiful neighbourhood and it keeps getting more beautiful, especially with the improvements to the Jutfaseweg.
Auto-translated to English by AIAt the moment the neighbourhood is not very safe. Drugs are traded on the car park, laughing gas is also used, cartridges lie on the car park. Then the rubbish bins... are emptied poorly, everyone dumps bulky waste next to them... So yes, the neighbourhood is going downhill fast! Enforcement is hard to find, as is the police.
Auto-translated to English by AII can get to almost all my groceries or other necessities within 5 minutes by bike. But I do miss some green.

About Rijnlaan 228, Utrecht
The asking price of €675,000 is 43% above the average asking price in Rivierenwijk (€470,630). However, this home is also 34% larger than the neighbourhood average (103 m² vs 77 m²). The price per square metre works out at about €6,553, which is in line with the neighbourhood average of €6,455. So while the total price is high, the size and location justify it.
The home has energy label C. That means it has reasonable insulation and heating efficiency, but it's not the most modern. In the neighbourhood, about 27% of homes have label C, while 37% have A or A+. You can expect moderate energy bills, but nothing extreme.
Residents have mixed views. One review mentions drug dealing and litter on the car park, and says enforcement is hard to find. Another resident calls it a beautiful neighbourhood that is improving. The total number of crimes recorded in the neighbourhood is 358, which is relatively high for an urban area. It's worth visiting at different times to get your own feel.
There are several primary schools within walking distance. OBS Maaspleinschool is 390 metres away, De Wereldwijzer is 450 metres, and KBS St. Jan de Doper is 502 metres. For secondary education, the nearest is 0.8 km away. All are easily reachable on foot or by bike.
Utrecht's main train station is 1.3 km from the house, which is about a 15-minute walk or a 5-minute bike ride. That gives you direct connections to the rest of the country.
The listing does not mention a garden. The plot is 105 m², which typically includes the footprint of the house and possibly some outdoor space, but no garden is stated.
With 103 m² of floor space, a terraced house of this era usually has three or four bedrooms, but the exact layout is not provided.
